Ilaro Court
Ilaro Court (2 Mile Hill, Bridgetown, St. Michael Parish) – this is the official residence of the Prime Minister of Barbados. This coral limestone-built residence, like many other refurbished plantation style homes, boasts a wealth of antiques and records alike. The unusual name “Ilaro” came from the name of the town in Nigeria where a previous Governor of Barbados (Sir Gilbert Thomas Carter) was once stationed when he was a military officer. Carter was Governor of Barbados from 1904 to 1911.
